Comparison of microbial colony count of commercially available herbal products with and without ultrasonic activation for disinfection of root canals in patients.

Completed

• Conditions: Necrosis of pulp,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2021/03/032049
• Lead Sponsor: Dr Drishti Palwankar

Brief Summary

After following the inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients would be divided among six groups and bacterial counts will be estimated before and after the biomechanical preparation of root canals. The obtained colony counts will be compared to check the efficacy of Neem juice and Bitter gourd juice with and without ultrasonic activation against primary Endodontics infections.
